Module testing 

htl test: discovery, one isolated Lua state per test file, compile, report.

The runner owns nothing about assertions. A test file requires a library; the bundled default is htl.test (describe / it / expect, typed via test.d.tl). Any library exposing run(filter) -> { passed, failed, failures } under the module name the runner is told about plugs in the same way. A file that uses no such library is judged at file level: it passes if it runs to completion.

Structs

FileReport

Outcome of one test file.

Constants

DEFAULT_LIB

Module name of the bundled assertion library.

Functions

discover_tests

*_test.tl anywhere, plus every .tl under a directory named tests. Explicit file paths are always included. Skips target/, .git/, node_modules/.

lib_dir

Directory holding the bundled .d.tl files so the checker can see them (<tmp>/htl-lib-<version>/). Written on demand, only when content changes.

run_test_file

Run one test file in a fresh state. lib is the assertion library module to consult for run(filter) after the file executed (default: htl.test).
